## About

The small FM floorstander: three 150 mm mineral-cone drivers and a 38 mm ring radiator in 30 litres, on a curved laminated FusedMass cabinet only 21.5 cm wide at the baffle and under a metre tall. It is a three-way, not the two-and-a-half-way most towers this size settle for — one of the 150s handles the midrange alone while the other two do bass — which is where the 37 Hz comes from. Two ports on the back, and the same rear-panel crossover adjustment as the rest of the range, so the balance can be trimmed to the room by hand. Reworked in 2021 along with the whole FM line: Jantzen crossover parts, new binding posts, a new cabinet supplier and the option of satin black. 87 dB, 4 ohms, 29 kg. Gato no longer publishes a price for it — it is sold on request.
